Family is like Music. Some high notes, some low notes, but always a beautiful song
Welcome to the online home of the Cumberland High School Choral Program! On behalf of our administration, and myself, we gladly welcome you to the online home of the Cumberland High School Music Department. We value the membership of each student within our ensembles. I hope you will enjoy being a part of this organization, which continues to build a tradition of superior performance and musical excellence.
I believe our program offers many opportunities to the individual student: to demonstrate and build his/her musical ability, to develop leadership skills and a sense of responsibility, to make friends, to participate in musical activities, to perform as a representative of Cumberland High School, and to discover the unique thrill of performance. We will be working hard to learn music for our this year's events as our participation in concerts, clinics, and festivals will keep us busy, as well as involved.
Please utilize this website as a source for reminders, updates, documents, and to further your musical knowledge. We are here to help!
